Disclaimer: I am not involved with this project in any way other than having donated/pledged some money.

I think this is a really cool idea, and I hope they succeed and more indies (or big studios) actually do things like this. It could lead to some amazing spin-off games from small time devs.

Hi, organizer of The Open Bundle here! Thanks for submitting our campaign to HN. We just reached our "public domain release" goal half an hour ago, hopefully this will lead to more indies aiming to earn money by opening their works.

This is good work, I think it's a great idea.

I had some problems when I wanted to pledge earlier in that I just went to the bottom, put in my number and hit credit card and nothing happened. ( safari, with no obvious js errors in console. )

Thanks! As for the form, I'm guessing it was because the required email field (to send you your download link) was left unfilled. It's my bad, I didn't make the "please fill in this field" prompt obvious enough. I just left it as the HTML5 form validation default.

You're welcome. That's great to hear! I hope you can be (one of) the first with many to follow. :D
